What the company informed the exchanges

A-One Steels India Ltd has disclosed two writ petitions shared before the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay that challenge aspects related to the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) dated September 11, 2026 issued by the company. The company is a respondent in both matters, along with SEBI, the Union of India and the book running lead managers named in each petition.

Petition 1: Pushpa Agarwal vs SEBI & Ors (W.P. No. 33933/2026)

• Alleges lack of proper disclosure of material information concerning the company in the RHP.
• Sought directions from the Hon'ble High Court to issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ, order or direction commanding SEBI to consider and decide by reasoned order the pending complaints/representations.
• Also sought setting aside of the RHP shared dated 11th September 2026, that equity shares allotted to the respondent not be listed, an addendum, corrigendum or supplementary disclosure including publication of a public notice in the newspaper, deferment of listing, and corrective measures or supplementary disclosures.

Petition 2: Mrudul Agarwal vs SEBI & Ors (W.P. No. 33311/2026)

• Seeks directions to SEBI to consider representations regarding disclosure concerns in the RHP.
• Also covers the proposed amalgamation, the 1:413 share-exchange ratio and related valuation reports, prior to the public issue.

The Court's order dated 01.10.2026

• The Interim Stay Applications in both matters have been rejected.
• The stated grounds: all interim relief and a few of the main reliefs have become infructuous.
• Prima facie, the Court observed that the Initial Public Offering (IPO) which was proposed had now attained finality, in view of the listing of the shares.
• The Court listed the petitions on 08 October 2026 and rejected the prayer for interim relief.
• The company states that the next date of hearing in the case, as fixed by the Hon'ble Court, is 15th October 2026.

Financial implications as stated in the disclosure

• There is no specific quantum of financial implications being quantifiable at this point of time.
• There is no specific quantum of claims being quantifiable at this point of time.

Some terms made simple

• A writ petition is a request to a High Court asking it to direct an authority, such as a regulator, to act in a particular way or to set aside something.
• An Interim Stay Application is a request for temporary relief while the case is still pending. Rejection of the interim stay application means such temporary relief was not granted at this stage.
• The petitions themselves continue before the Court, and the matter is next listed as stated by the company.
